... a little rain must fall

a little annozing, this cyech internet cafe kezboard ... the y and z are transposed for some reason, the numbers must all be hit with shift plus number, I can§t find the apostrophe, hzphen or dash, and forget about the semi=colon or exclamation mark. oh well...

this is our last day. we fly out on the redeye just after midnite and arrive in tel aviv very early tues morning. this morning we took a tour of Prague´s Jewish Quarter and got our fill of more pogrom-filled history. it´s shocking, really, to walk in the cobble-stoned streets of the ghetto and imagine what went on here. And yesterday we took a side-trip to Terezin (what I´d fomerly heard of as Theresienstadt). It´s just a 50-min. drive from here, and was a pretty nauseating place to visit. I was unprepared, I guess, for how sickening history can be when it´s off the page and just a little more in your face. It´s too much to take in, how do we process this horror?

I have learned an immense amount of history in the past 5 days, and it has been fascinating. Prague is a very enriching vacation, in this way, as there is so much education and enjoyment combined. I have adored walking through the streets in this gorgeous weather and having an adventure with my husband that we´ve never had the opportunity for in our marriage. Although we did finally get hit with a bit of precipitation today, finally.

A very fitting way to celebrate this month our 15th, and best, anniversary.
